Dr. Kerry Levett

Dr. Kerry Levett’s winding career path spanning both instruction and student services brought her to Cascadia in the summer of 2018 after serving at Lane Community College (Eugene, OR) for five years the Executive Dean of Student Affairs. Kerry fell in love with community colleges when first serving at Finger Lakes Community (Canandaigua, NY) as the Associate Vice President for Student Affairs, after previously serving two private colleges, Hilbert College, (Hamburg, NY), and Cook College & Theological School (Tempe, AZ).

Teaching, both in and out of the classroom, fuels Kerry's passion for working in higher education.  In addition to administrative roles focused on student access and success, Kerry has served as an undergraduate full-time and part-time instructor and an academic program coordinator, and as adjunct in the doctoral Community College Leadership Program and master’s Student Personnel Administration programs at Oregon State University.

Dr. Levett is a member of the American Association of Women in Community Colleges (AAWCC), is a graduate of the AAWCC Leader’s Institute (2015), and attended and presented at the first national AAWCC conference. In 2017 she was elected to the national Board of Directors for AAWCC filling the role of Vice President for Professional Development.
